Although British ships had already used the caliber 35.5-cm, but the slightly smaller German caliber were due to the quality and bullet speed equal to those of the British. The combat strength was increased by the use of 30.5-cm fast charge guns in four twin towers, also unlike the predecessor ships. The design of the Derfflinger class stems from the ships of the Moltke class and the large cruiser SMS Seydlitz, which came out as an evolution from the Moltke class. #ship #warship #vessel #boat #navy #picoftheday #photooftheday #instaphoto #instapic #instagood #photography #pic #scapaflow #instaberlin #instamünchen #munich #history #today If you had information about the photographer, contact us, we will gladly put the name on the credits. All ships pictures taken from Internet, fixed and colorized. The ships are a source of low-background steel. Those that remain are popular diving sites. Many of the wrecks were salvaged over the next two decades and were towed away for scrapping. Intervening British guard ships were able to beach some of the ships, but 52 of the 74 interned vessels sank. The scuttling was carried out on 21 June 1919. Fearing that either the UK would seize the ships unilaterally or the German government at the time might reject the Treaty of Versailles and resume the war effort (in which case the ships could be used against Germany), Admiral Ludwig von Reuter decided to scuttle the fleet. The High Seas Fleet was interned there under the terms of the Armistice while negotiations took place over the fate of the ships. Shortly after the end of the First World War, the German Kaiserliche Marine was scuttled by its sailors while held off the harbor of the British Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow, in the Orkney Islands of Scotland.
